This article was inspired by Rolland's Family Systems-Illness (FSI) model, aiming to predict adolescent stress as a function of parental illness type. Ninety-nine parents with a chronic medical condition, 82 partners, and 158 adolescent children (51 % girls; mean age = 15.1 years) participated in this Dutch study. The Dutch Stress Questionnaire for Children was used to measure child report of s...

Data drawn from the National Study of Health and Growth enabled an examination to be made of the attained height, weight for height, and triceps skinfold of children from one and two parent families. Children from one parent families were shorter than children from two parent families; however, once heights had been adjusted for birthweight, number of siblings, mother's height, father's height,...

MAIN OUTCOME MEASURES ...

[Cp(*)RhCl(PTA)(2)]X (PTA = 7-phospha-1,3,5-triazaadamantane) undergoes an H/D exchange process between the methyl groups of Cp(*) and D(2)O whose rate depends on the coordinating ability of the counterion X(-). Kinetic studies and DFT calculations indicate that deuteration involves the abstraction of a Me-Cp(*) proton by a coordinated OH(-); the formation of the latter seems to be facilitated ...
